As a registered PE and SE in the State of Alaska, I work under the BBFM principals to design buildings and other structures for vertical and lateral loads throughout Alaska using a variety of materials including wood, masonry, concrete, and steel. Additional project experience outside of Alaska includes design for the National Science Foundation in Antarctica (transportation & drilling platform sleds as well as building structures) and Halliburton's operations in Russia (drilling support module). Further descriptions are found in my BBFM project experience below.

Sep 2009 - May 2015
As an EIT I worked under BBFM's principal engineers and gained the 5 years of work experience required for me to take the PE exam in Alaska. I designed buildings for vertical and lateral loads throughout Alaska using a variety of materials including wood, masonry, concrete, and steel. Structural design included learning and using common structural analysis and design software, as described in my profile summary. I met and worked with a variety of architects, engineers, and contractors to facilitate cost effective and efficient structural designs. Initial projects for which I was the project manager under one of BBFM's principals include the following:- Ketchikan Aquatic Center- Petersburg Library- Kodiak Alaska Department of Fish & Game Admin and Research Building- Walter Soboleff Center. Additional projects are listed above. I also aided in the design of Launch And Recovery System (LARS) sleds for the National Science Foundation to use in research and supply purposes at the South Pole Station, Antarctica.

Jan 2008 - Aug 2009
Geotechnical research on the use of wick drains to mitigate soil liquefaction. I used geotechnical engineering and statistical methods to evaluate research data regarding a new method of mitigating soil liquefaction in silty sands. I produced a Masters Thesis as a result of my research, see the publications section. Funded by the Utah Department of Transportation and led by my adviser, Dr. Kyle M. Rollins. Additional project data and support was provided Lisheng Shao and Mark Koelling from Hayward Baker, Mike Almeida from Condon Johnson & Associates, Bradford Price and Robert Johnson from RB&G Engineering, and fellow graduate student Emily Dibbs who laid the initial framework for my research with Dr. Rollins.
